White Plains, NY, USA - May 4-8, 2015

This five-day course was developed to confront the next generation of basic scientists with clinical realities and young clinicians with the latest advances of preclinical disciplines in movement disorders and to create a common language and generate ideas that allow development of new translational projects developed by the next generation of researchers in movement disorders.

The course included lectures on topics related to research in the field of Movement Disorders as well as hands-on group work, during which participants drafted a grant application related to Movement Disorders.

There were 23 participants in attendance from: Brazil, Canada, China, Poland, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, and the US. The number of participants was kept low intentionally to create an intimate interactive learning environment for the participants.
